Manual Extract: Oil Pressure System

The lubricating oil system is critical to the engine’s performance. It starts at the float screen intake and is moved by the oil pump, which pressurizes the oil for distribution.

Oil Flow Path

• The oil is pumped into the front main bearing of the crankshaft, where it splits into multiple paths.
• One path leads to the front crankshaft bearing and continues through a drilled passage to the camshaft bearing and governor mechanism and gears.
• The other path leads to an oil gallery, extending the full length of the crankcase, lubricating the center and rear main bearings via drilled passages in the crankshaft to the connecting rod bearings.
• Another route runs through the crankcase center, penetrating the center support of the rocker arm shaft and lubricating valve mechanisms before draining through push rod tubes.
• The oil then travels to the oil filter, where impurities are removed before depositing in the oil pan.

Important Usage Recommendations

• Maintain the recommended oil level to ensure sufficient lubrication, especially for parts dependent on splash lubrication, such as pistons and piston pins.
• Avoid overfilling the crankcase, as excess oil can lead to increased consumption, smoking, and carbon deposits.

This guide will aid in ensuring your tractor operates efficiently by providing clear insights and instructions on maintaining its vital systems.
